Chilling brand-new doorbell cam video shows on-the-run Army veteran Travis Decker in the days before he's implicated of murdering his three young children and vanishing into the woods.


Decker, 32, was caught on a Ring doorbell approaching a home in a light colored T-shirt and dark shorts in the days leading up to his visitation with his children Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, in Wenatchee, Washington State.


He could be seen with a goatee and a mustache, with his long hair drew back.


Authorities shared the images of the wanted suspect last night in a bid to familiarize the public with his look. Decker remains at-large and is considered harmful, offered his substantial military training and propensity for violence.


'These are the most current images and videos we have that expose his last recognized look,' Under Sheriff Dan Ozment stated in a cops news release.


Decker has not been seen given that he got his 3 little ladies for a three-hour see on Friday.


The girls' mother later reported them missing. Their bodies were found at a campground in Leavenworth, 20 miles from their home, on Monday.


Their wrists had been bound with zip ties and each of them had actually been suffocated with a plastic bag.


The Chelan County Sheriff's Office released Ring doorbell electronic camera footage revealing Travis Decker, 32, in a light colored T-shirt and dark shorts in the days leading up to his visitation with his three young children


Authorities also released images of Decker from before he went missing, revealing him with sunglasses that obscured his eyes and tattoos all down his arm


Paityn, 9, Evelyn, 8, and Olivia, 5, were discovered dead on Monday


The constable's workplace is now working with the Wenatchee Police Department, US Border Patrol and Homeland Security investigations to track down Decker, who is charged with 3 counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping.


The US Marshals Service also stated it would offer a reward of up to $20,000 for any information resulting in Decker's arrest - though cops state the veteran might 'posture a considerable danger if approached' as he has comprehensive combat training.


He likewise went through comprehensive outdoor survival training, which authorities admitted Wednesday might make the search efforts more hard, with Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison saying Decker was 'skilled in outside survival.'


'In talking with his daddy, it sounds [like] at times he would head out and live off-grid, sometimes for two months,' the sheriff informed press reporters.


Decker signed up with the US Army in 2012 and served a tour in Afghanistan two years later.


He likely has advanced fight training as a result, and was an airborne paratrooper who made the elite rank of 'Ranger,' showing he would have exceptional wilderness and survival abilities.


Decker then moved to the Washington Army National Guard in 2021, increasing to the rank of sergeant.


But he stopped attending compulsory month-to-month drills a little over a year earlier, and the Guard remained in the procedure of a disciplinary discharge.


Decker has not been seen considering that he selected up his three little girls for a three-hour check out on Friday


Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing when he failed to return them Friday night


It now appears that Decker had been experiencing mental health problems.


Court documents mention that when Whitney, his ex-wife, reported her daughters missing on Friday, she 'revealed issue because Decker supposedly has actually never ever done this before and ... is currently experiencing some mental health issues.'


She explained to police authorities that Decker was diagnosed with borderline character condition and thinks he did not take medication for the condition, according to court documents.


She said the women had a 'good relationship with Decker and enjoy their time with him.'


But she kept in mind that when Decker arrived to get the ladies on Friday he was 'quieter than usual' which was 'out of character' for him.


Decker does not have long-term housing and is understood to remain at hotels and camping sites, cops stated.


That seemed to produce its own problems, with Whitney composing in September divorce proceedings that Decker would in some cases have the girls sleep at an armory while he remained in the National Guard - in spite of her objections.


She went on to say he had been 'struggling to maintain stability' given that they separated and it was starting to impact their daughters and was prone to 'outbursts,' according to the Seattle Times.


Sometimes, Whitney said her ex would enter into her house screaming for the ladies - whom he would in some cases stop working to pick up after promising to do so.


Whitney stated in September divorce proceedings that he had been 'having a hard time to preserve stability' considering that they were separated and it was beginning to impact their children


Nevertheless, Whitney informed authorities, whenever Decker would be running late to return the girls, he would generally call first.


At times, Whitney said her ex would enter into her home shouting for the girls - whom he would often stop working to select up after assuring to do so


Chelan County Sheriff Mike Morrison admitted on Wednesday Decker was 'skilled in outside survival'


He is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping, and on Tuesday, a judge provided a warrant for Decker's arrest and bought he be held without bail.


Meanwhile, a GoFundMe established for Whitney had raised over $689,000 as of Wednesday night.
